Sideways rain most of the day today. Maybe tomorrow.

I set myself up a Youtube account because PB just doesn't do video well over a certain amount storage.
Anyway, here goes.

Thanks.
Of course, I never saw the background when shooting the video. The clutter monster has returned.

Finally
After almost a year of chasing down that effing misfire under acceleration, I finally traced it and it only took a couple 40 year old parts to fix it. I yanked the 'new coils' and put the old ones back on. No more miss. Even after hours of riding on a hot day in traffic.
I kept telling myself, "But the coils are new. It can't be them". I bet I have the best tuned CX out there now.

You're not the first person to get screwed up by a new defective part. I think this is more common with ignition parts as well.
BTW, the 'clutter monster' is significant. I say build the wife a shed to put her stuff in outside, and move your bicycles into her walk in closet and half of the bedroom. What could go wrong with that plan? ;-)

It passed with flying colors yesterday. 86F and humid along with stop and go traffic. Never missed a beat. I, on the other hand, was wilted.
Doc-Having been married for nearly 42 years, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this matrimonial thing. There are only two real rules to live by. The first is, 'It's her house'. The second is, "Questions I know the answer to I don't need to ask". That second one is attributed to 'Calvin and Hobbes'.

There is some great wisdom in that cartoon strip, Calvin and Hobbes.

As do I. My kids were pleased to discover them, when they learned to read.
